All I want is some widely accepted and easy to use payment method, that I can use instead of american companies like Visa/MasterCard/PayPal. If the digital euro gets us there, let’s go!
@Eril@noumenon isn’t Wero aiming to be the PayPal replacement? I think they’re basically combining various national platforms to make something that works Euro(pe?)-wide.
I say this jealously from the UK where we’re doing precisely zip, AFAIK.
Yes, Wero would be a PayPal replacement, but I highlighted “widely accepted” for a reason. So far I didn’t see a single online shop where I could use it for payment. Also most banks don’t support it.
As long as it stays that way, it is close to useless to me.
Also we need european alternatives to Visa and MasterCard, which Wero doesn’t even aim to be.
